The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is looking into findings by Consumer Reports magazine that Ford Motor Co.'s Ford Fusion and C-Max wagon hybrids fall well short of their mileage ratings, an agency spokeswoman said on Monday.

The EPA plans to look at Consumer Reports' test data, the agency said in a statement. It is unclear whether the agency would conduct its own tests or launch a more in-depth inquiry.
